While reading these various stories on rival CNN's travails and what the recent management shakeups mean there, I catch this comment from Teya Ryan, CNN's executive vice president, commenting on this channel.

"I don't think FOX has an impressive news-gathering operation at all," she tells the New York Daily News.

But she's not finished, adding, "I think they've appealed to a fairly narrow group with a narrow view of the world and a specific political opinion."

This coming from the same person whose own impeccable journalistic triumphs included hiring an actress to read the news at CNN.
